About Ilford Park Polish Home
Ilford Park Polish Home provides residential and nursing care for former members of the Polish Forces who served under British command during the Second World War, and for their spouses. This dedicated community focus gives the home a specific eligibility profile rather than a general care-home remit.
The home is subject to routine inspection by the Care Quality Commission and regularly meets its standards. Its care provision covers dementia, older people, mental health, physical disabilities and sensory impairment. The defining practical consideration is the resident’s connection to the former Polish Forces community. That focus shapes who the service is intended to support and helps families assess whether the home is relevant before making further arrangements.

Questions families ask
How much does Ilford Park Polish Home cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Ilford Park Polish Home for its weekly fee. As a guide, Devon council paid on average £1,317 a week for a nursing care place for people aged 65 and over in 2024-2025, against £1,102 across England (GOV.UK adult social care finance report). People who pay for their own care are usually charged more than councils pay.
Who pays for a place in this home?
Ask Ilford Park Polish Home whether it takes residents funded by Devon council and what it charges people who pay for themselves. In England the council may help after a needs assessment and a financial assessment if savings and assets are below £23,250 (2026 to 2027 rules). In a nursing home the NHS also pays £267.68 a week towards the nursing care of residents assessed as needing it. People whose needs are mainly health needs may qualify for NHS Continuing Healthcare, which pays the full fee.
